Descrizione
According to Pio Rajna and later scholars of the Furioso, the presence of St. John the Evangelist as a guardian of the terrestrial paradise and guide of a mortal visitor in the Otherworld did not have a literary precedent. On the contrary, St. John holds the very same diegetical function in the dialogue de somnio quodam, written a few decades before by the humanist Enea Silvio Piccolomini. An intertextual comparison between the two texts suggests Ariosto’s possible knowledge of the humanistic dialogue. Moreover Piccolomini’s dialogue belongs to the same genre and shares the same title of a well known hypo-text of Astolfo’s lunar journey: Leon Battista Alberti’s “intercoenalis” somnium.
